Cloning

Have you ever wished you could have a clone of yourself to do homework while you hit the skate park or went out with your friends?

 Cloning is the creation of an organism that is an exact genetic copy of another. This means that every single bit of DNA is the same between the two!

You might not believe it, but there are human clones among us right now. They weren't made in a lab, though: they're identical twins, created naturally. Below, we'll see how natural identical twins relate to modern cloning technologies.

Dr. Ian Wilmut, the man who headed the research team which introduced a seven-month old Finn-Dorset lamb named Dolly into the world, transgressed long-standing barriers and evoked dormant ethical questions with the arrival of Dolly.  Dolly has since been joined by Molly and Polly - two genetically identical lambs carrying human genes that produce a factor  for the treatment of haemophilia.

Scientists think that at the future 100 of Albert Einstein or 100 of Hitlar can be created by cloning.
